Brings Charleston to life! - Liz was highly knowledgeable, fun and had wonderful stories that brought all the building we looked at to life. We got some steps in, walked at a good pace including the French quarter, antebellum area, the battery/waterfront. Definitely worth it and more enjoyable that trying to navigate on our own. No brainer....just book this one!

Highly recommend both Charleston and Liz’s Tour. - What a wonderful tour we had with Liz. Learned a lot about historic Charleston and had a great start to our day in this beautiful town. Liz was very knowledgeable on the origins and development of the city as well as its role in the nation’s birth and history. We thoroughly enjoy our time with her, she is a Charleston treasure and a true delight.

Time well spent! - This was an excellent tour that provided a fascinating overview of the French Quarter. Liz was a fountain of knowledge and local lore, delivered as only a multi-generational resident of Charleston could do it. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and highly recommend it. Thanks, Liz!
